A major polling firm with close links to the Democratic
Party establishment refused to conduct a survey on the TSA after
admitting they were uncomfortable with material contained on
Infowars.com, bolstering claims made by others that Public Policy
Polling is bias towards the Obama administration.

Having approached numerous different polling agencies,
Infowars decided to go with PPP to conduct a simple poll featuring ten
questions about the TSA. The objective of the poll was to find out how
much indignity and violations of their privacy Americans were willing to
tolerate in order to fly.

The questions, price and methodology of the poll were
all agreed after back and forth conversations that had been ongoing for
over a week, yet PPP pulled the plug at the eleventh hour.

Hours before the survey was set to commence, we received
an email from PPP which stated they were refusing to undertake the poll
because they were “uncomfortable with a lot of the content that appears
on Infowars.com.”

On that day our top three feature stories were all
critical of Barack Obama and his supporters, so it doesn’t take a genius
to work out which content they were referring to.

In addition, despite being started under George W, Bush,
the Transportation Security Administration is most definitely on the
front lines of the Obama administration’s big government agenda, having
expanded its work force by tens of thousands of agents, many of whom are
now being used outside the airport at subways, bus depots, political
events, music concerts and even high school prom nights.

Along with the Drudge Report, Infowars has been the
TSA’s biggest critic. Was PPP nervous about our criticism of Obama or
our opposition to the TSA? Maybe both?

Since the very legitimacy of polling data relies on the
polling agency carrying out the survey remaining politically
non-partisan, the actions of PPP in refusing to carry out the poll raise
serious questions about the firm’s neutrality.

These questions have been raised repeatedly by others
over the course of the election season because PPP’s polls on the
presidential race routinely favor Barack Obama, despite other polls by
more prestigious polling agencies showing significantly different
results.

In one example,
PPP were accused of “cheerleading” for Obama after announcing that
Obama had extended his lead in Ohio beyond the margin of his 2008
victory, leading to claims that the agency was “paid by the SEIU” and
exhibiting “blatant bias and idiocy.”

Conservative website Red State pointed
to some of the tactics used in PPP’s polling methods to conclude, “Its
fairly common knowledge that PPP is a biased propaganda outlet for the
DNC. Having a bias is fine. Having a bias and pretending you don’t isn’t
fine but it seems like its par for the course. Worse than that though
is using your position as a supposedly integrous source of public
opinion data to push narratives in cooperation with the Democratic
party.”

PPP has also been accused of running self-funded advocacy polls to bolster the chances of Democratic candidates, leading the Battleground Watch blog to assert that,
“PPP polls are laden with pro-Obama and pro-Democrat bias. This is not
an independent organization who happens to be Democrat leaning, they are
a pro-Democrat polling firm with an agenda.”

Infowars is now talking to other major polling agencies
who do not allow political bias to skew their actions in an effort to
have our survey conducted within the next week.
